If someone is being horribly racist in America, you just know the Daily Show will be looking for a way to tie them to conservatives at large. Oklahoma University’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity’s racist chants have been all over the news lately, and Stewart isn’t happy with the way a few conservative hosts have covered it–therefore, racism?
Stewart rolled clips of conservative guests on “Morning Joe” and “Fox” implying that rap music has allowed racist slurs to perpetuate—and then used that as a launching pad to conclude that conservatives deny that racism exists and are tone-deaf to America’s problems.
“How come when conservatives talk about African Americans, they say, ‘These people need to take responsibility for themselves, pull up those pants, get a job,’ but when white people do something racist they’re all ‘well you can’t blame them, how could those poor children know wrong from right after being driven to madness by the irresistible power of the hippity-hoppity’?”
“I guess in Fox-World poverty is a choice, but being racist is a product of your environment,” he said.
He also ripped into Megyn Kelly, who explicitly acknowledges that racism exists across the country–he just doesn’t like her tone.
